Jabberwocky for Voice, Horn and Piano Text by Lewis Carroll French translation by Frank L. Warrin, German translation by Robert Scott
The intense and surreal musical narrative so apparent in Gerald Barry’s hugely successful opera The Importance of Being Earnest returns in a new guise for his latest vocal work Jabberwocky. Setting Lewis Carroll’s famous poem, Barry uses the text twice – first in French with expressive legato phrases and then more forcefully in German.
